Why are unions different?

The union difference is more money in your pockets to buy a home, start a family, pay down student loan debt and save for retirement.

Better Pay And Benefits

Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 27% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

More than 79% of union workers have jobs that provide health insurance benefits, but less than half of nonunion workers do.

Unions help bring more working people into the middle class. In fact, in states where people don’t have union rights, workers’ incomes are lower.

Secure Retirement

Unionized workers are 60% more likely to have employer-provided pensions.

Productivity

Unions help employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a say in improving their jobs.

Unions also provide a voice on the job, which is something that money can’t buy.
